In article <LeT4wB1w165w@west.darkside.com> sspy@west.darkside.com (mshannon) writes: I have concluded that using RSA keys longer than 200 digits and triple encrypting the DES (360 bit keyspace?) are totally unnecessary for the average person and small business owner. I believe that MailSafe provides more than enough security. Maybe if you don't know that triple DES encryption gives at most three times 56 = 168 bits of key space, you're not qualified to recommend to people what kind of cryptography to use.
